Technologies Driving Business Change

• Microservices or Containerization: How to prepare next-generation cloud applications A microservice architecture promotes developing and deploying applications composed of autonomous, self-contained units
• Software-defined networking (SDN) is an emerging architecture that is dynamic, manageable, cost-effective, and adaptable, making it ideal for the high-bandwidth, dynamic nature of today's applications. This architecture decouples the network control and forwarding functions enabling the network control to become directly programmable and the underlying infrastructure to be abstracted for applications and network services. The OpenFlow® protocol is a foundational element for building SDN solutions.
• The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
• IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6) is the Internet's next-generation protocol, designed to replace the current Internet Protocol, IP Version 4. Is your software, network, and infrastructure ready?
• Homomorphic Encryption is a method whereby encrypted files could be categorized, and mined, while still remaining in an encrypted state.
• Adaptive security Application self-protection, as well as user and entity behavior analytics, will help fulfill the adaptive security architecture. As cyberattacks against large companies continue to succeed with alarming regularity, it is becoming apparent that the existing security measures at most enterprises are inadequate to keep up with the rapidly evolving nature of attacks.
• Cloud Computing IDC predicts that by 2018, half of IT spending will be cloud-based. Many organizations are overcoming their security and compliance concerns and embracing the cloud wholeheartedly.
• Blockchain is a distributed database that is used to record an ever-growing list of transactions. It doesn't require any permission to access it, but it's nearly impossible to tamper with the data it holds.
